Thread: audl-irssi

Would someone be so kind as to walk me through setting up autodl-irssi on my slice? I've read all the tutorials here, at private tracker forums and elsewhere that I could find but I always get stuck.

what part are you getting stuck with?

You might get more replies if you post what you've tried so far.
...... it's easier to spot a sticking point than to explain everything from scratch

I get stuck right after using wget to get the autodl package. I believe the furthest I got was using Canadian's tutorial located Here. The step I get stuck at is with opening conf.php because I can't seem to find that after I install autodl.

Code:

$find / -name 'conf.php'

I think this is the command to search for your conf.php file.

It did not find anything.

No offense Bluntedking, but you're not giving us much to go on yet. To do much more than guess, we need to know each step you did, the order you did them in, the exact wording of any unexpected errors and any other details that may be relevant. The whole installation hinges on details and just one misstep might keep you from success.

You said that you followed Canadian's tutorial. And you mentioned that you got as far as the conf.php step. So I've marked that in orange. Can you confirm that you did each step below without any errors up until you tried to copy to conf.php. And exactly what happened at that step that wouldn't let you proceed further?

NOTE: Feralhosting claims that this is now done by default on all of their boxes, so it shouldn't be necessary with them.

apt-get -y install libarchive-zip-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libhtml-parser-perl libxml-libxml-perl libdigest-sha1-perl libjson-perl libjson-xs-perl libxml-libxslt-perl

Second note, the seedbox provider will most likely have irssi installed. If they don't just ask them to do it, I'm sure they will oblige.

Then, you need to ssh into your box and install autodl-irssi. I did it like this:

mkdir -p ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
cd ~/.irssi/scripts
wget -O autodl-irssi.zip https://sourceforge.net/projects/aut...0.zip/download
unzip -o autodl-irssi.zip
rm autodl-irssi.zip
cp autodl-irssi.pl autorun/
mkdir -p ~/.autodl
touch ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg

Now, optionally (but very helpful!) install the rutorrent plugin. I recommend this! Even though I run mostly deluge, I have the rutorrent plugin to configure autodl-irssi, but it drops the .torrent files in the Deluge watch folder.

Now "cd" to the plugins directory. On a feral hosting box, this will be something like:

cd ~
cd www/*.feralhosting.com/public_html/rutorrent/plugins

On a dedicated seedbox, it might be something like:

cd /var/www/rutorrent/plugins

Now install the autodl-irssi rutorrent plugin:

svn co https://autodl-irssi.svn.sourceforge...t/autodl-irssi
cp autodl-irssi/_conf.php autodl-irssi/conf.php

...

Edit: I figured it out but now I have no clue how to set up the filters.

Thanks for the additional details Bluntedking, it makes all the difference in the world. I'm just rushing out the door, but at a glance it looks like you may be searching in the wrong directory here. In the picture below.. 1. the file unpacked, 2. the package is good, 3. it appears that you copied the file successfully.. but 4. you change to the home directory (why?). Then 5, can't find the file. Then change to a different directory and can't find it there (6, 7).

I'll be back shortly and double check that I didn't miss something obvious here. But in the meantime, can you go back to the plugins directory and see if conf.php is there? Or do a global search for it.

.....So $ cd /www/yadda_yadda.feralhosting.com/public.html/rutorrent/plugins
..........$ ls -a

.....or $ find / -name conf.php
.....or $ locate conf.php


nvm.. I just refreshed my page and see that you figured it out.. ..yeaaaaaa
okay, the filters are pretty easy.. i'll explain those when I get back, if Magister doesn't beat me to the punch ..
